I have been working with a fellow stationed in Afghanistan who developed an Excel Spreadsheet we calls
Stogie Tracker. It is a fairly elaborate spreadsheet already. I have been working with LT Rich the author, attempting to use the built-in data on-line feature to auto-populate some of the fields. It is still a work in progress but I'm optimistic. That is my plan for the software side of keeping track of things.
However, more importantly to me was the ability to quickly label the individual cigars. I actually searched a bit in an attempt to find a solution to the labeling of my smokes - just this past week I starting utilizing a ½" & 1" round labels that I print on a Brother QL-500 Label printer.
I bought it for about $50 after rebate, a while back and it is an OK label printer. It can print 25 of labels for a box of cigars in about 8 seconds.
I still have the last bit of the process to put together as the label printing program will do a merge with Excel for selected fields so I will not have to dual enter information.
Kind of decided I'll use the small one for the sticks and the larger labels for the boxes.
Here is a ½" label on a Tatuaje Noellas band, the print is small but I can still read it.
Here is a ½" one on a Leon Jimenes Rothschilds:
And here are the larger 1" labels that I will probably just use on boxes going forward:
